SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNAL S . Mr. O'Connell has addressed a letter to his con stituents, giving an account of his Parliamentary con duct during the last session, and alluding to some of the measures relating to Ireland which may be ex pected in the next. The present Administration, he says, are pledged to bring forward three measures of the most vital importance to the Irish people :- 1. The Tithe Bill ; 2. The Corporate Reform ; and 3. A Poor Law. We confess we do not exactly un derstand what Mr. O'Connell would be at with regard to a Poor-law:— . . _ .‘ Let me not (he says) be misunderstood as being at all sanguine as to any beneficial results. It is in the first • place quite clear that no Poor-law Bill will pass the House I of Lords unless the management of the relief is placed in the bands of the great landlords. The present House of Lords will certainly not give us a better Poor-law Bill in this respect than the English law, and the aristocratic tendency of that Bill is manifest. There has been a cry raised on this subject in Ireland which renders it still more necessary that a Poor-law Bill should pass. But I very much doubt of any practical relief from such Bill. A Poor-law takes away a great deal from the pauper, and seldom gives him any adequate compensation. How few of our Irish de claimers on Poor-laws are aware of what such a law deprives the pauper, or of its fatal ejects on wages." We really are astonished how it could possibly enter Mr. 0 Connell s head that it would not be a desirable thing for the Irish poor to he placed on the footing of the poor of England. All our fear is that the Irish will not obtain so good a Bill as the law now in force in England. And as to Irish declaimers holding forth to Irish paupers on the fatal effects on wages of the English Poor-law, only think of the chance they would have of being listened to by men who, when em ployed, seldom receive more than sixpence a day, and often less. Every labourer in Ireland knows that wages in England are three times higher than in his Tom country. We see great difficulties in the way of establishing Poor-laws in Ireland, but we confess we never expected to be met with the argument drat they had a tendency to lower wages. They will lower rents, no doubt, but that we should suppose would be viewed by very few in the light of an in jury. Mr. O'Connell still maintains " that the great majority of the people of England are either hostile or indifferent to the just rights of the people of Ireland—that is, that they either side with our oppressors, or are totally careless whether we be oppressed or not." He adds, " There are, I know anti admit, a large, and influential, and talented mino rity of the people of England inclined to do justice to the Irish nation. But amongst even these there is some insincerity, and much want of warmth and cor diality." He refers to the admission of certain Eng lish writers, that there is "an English dislike to the Irish people, and a frenzied hatred of our (the Catho lic) religion ;" and he warns his countrymen not to delude themselves with the hope that the other por tions of the empire will work out their liberties for them. "No (he exclaims), we must do it for our selves. Let us, then, be up and stirring." Certainly the more the Irish do for theimelves, the more friends tiles; will have in this country. The maxim, Aide-toi et le ciel (lidera, is of universal application. The Irish found the benefit of it in the struggle which ended with emancipation. Without subscribing to Mr. O'Connell's opinion regarding the senti mcnts of the people of England, we have no hesitation in saying that the lesson he reads to his own countrymen cannot be too much taken to heart. re .we to admit that the people of ErTland do not yet take a sufficient interest in the affairs of Ireland, much might he said in their defence. Till within these few years the Government was oligarchical, and the English knew Ireland only through the repre sentations of the oligarchy and their dependents. Some measure was kept with the people of this island, but Lone was kept with the Irish, who were treated as hewers of wood and drawers of water, as if to show how far misgovernment could be carried. The British branch of the oligarchy would allow of no interference .with the Iri . sh branch, and the oppression of the peo ple of Ireland seemed so much a matter of course, that the only question discussed in Parliament was, whe ther the heavy expense entailed on us by the mis government might not be diminished ? The aristocracy of both countries would have made common cause against any attempt to redress any of the grievances of the Irish, and the English people, having no power to in•• terfere with effect in their behalr, came in some measure to look on their condition as hopeless. But now that the Reform Bill has struck a blow at the power of the oligatchy, and allowed effect to be given to the opinions of the people, the English must see how deeply they arc interested in the welfare of their Irish brethren, and become every day more and more im pressed with the necessity of the two nations making common cause with each other. The Tories and the Parsons throughout the country endeavour to prevent this good understanding, and to cherish old prejudices and revive old animosities. But Liberal Reformers are sufficiently aware of the paramount importance of drawing closer and closer the ties between the people of the two islands. We wish, therefore, that Mr. O'Connell could have contrived to stimulate the Irish to exertions in their own behalf, without being unjust to the English Reformers. He ought to have made more allowance for the circumstances in which the people of England have been placed with respect to Ireland, and made more allowance for the difficulties with which the Reformers have to contend.—?horning Chronicle. The address of Lord Eliot to the constituency of East Cornwall is worthy of every man's attention. Sir W. Molesworth, having stated his political sentiments, and acknowledged them to be such as had lost him the confidence of the county, very frankly declared that he would act on such persuasion of the difference existing between them, and would retire from Parliament as a Member for East Cornwall. To us it appeared, and still appears, that the reasons assigned by the Hon. Baronet for his retirement at a future day ought to make that retreat immediate, and the only objection brought against us on that point is a cry for the demoralizing and degrading humbug of the ballot. However, the office thus to be surrendered by Sir W. Molesworth is now aspired to by Lord Eliot, and his Lordship's claim to the honour is vindicated by a declaration of his political principles, which, without shuffling or circumlocution, he avows to be in mapy important points the reverse of those entertained by the present Member, and thus gives no man a pretext for complaining that the Noble Candidate takes the field under doubtful or dissimulating colours. Lord Eliot has indeed been sneered at by a frightened jour nal of the Ministry, because his address seems to in dicate rather what he will not do, than what he will. The journalist who hazards such a comment on the Noble Lord must be one of your " foolish fellows" familiar with th e purlieus of D own i ng -street, and Storey's-gate. A set of dabblers in political crudity, empincs, and chimera -mongers, are for ever threatening to uproot the most essential institutions of this ancient and illustrious monarchy. They tell us that th:Lt:llleayt want to metamorphose and remodel ever ythin it is their fixed purpose to overturn the established church ; to let loose, by a still more enlarged elective franchise, all the ignorance and desperation of society upon our electoral system, with a view to submerg e the entire state, by the mere pressure of barbarous numbers, and blind misdirected force ; that the aristo cratic branch of our Constitution, wherein are chiefly comprehended its invaluable characteristics of stability and self-control, must be altogether absorbed by a de mocracy prone to everlasting movement ; and that to accomplish with more fatal effect this scheme for an nihilatinc, the House of Lords as an hereditary assembly, nominated by the Crown, but, save only in respect of the junior Bishops, completely independent of the Crown and its Ministers, and for setting up in its place ano ther body, to be elected by the same democratic and multitudinous power from which the House of Com mons itself shall emanate--that for such worthy ends as these, the old manly practice of open voting must and a system of duplicity, be abolished, concealment, and cowardice, be established hypocrisy, fraud, lying, in the place of it. We ask of our countrymen when such abominations as these are avowed and boasted of, and a numerous and unwearying faction in the kingdom mre moving earth and hell for their attain ment , what is the language that ought to be held by a man who medi tates such projects with terror and disgust ? In what words is it natural, nay possible, for an English gentle man to make known the feelings of conservatism and attachment to the Constitution by which he is animated, and by which he pledges himself to abide, so well as by employing those same negative assurances for which the Ministerial prints of Saturday abuse Lord Eliot— viz., that he will not alienate from the church of Ire land her less than moderate revenues—that he will not destroy the independence of the House of Lords, under the impudent pretence of reforming it—and that he will not vote for the shameful ballot—a device which it would become the Prince of Darkness, and him only, to approve of. But is it true that Lord Eliot has confined himself to these negative disclaimers of Ra dicalism, with its revolutionary and destructive plots ? Is there nothing demonstrative of a sincere disposition to accomplish sound and effectual reforms, or of a ca pacity to point out where they are, or at least where they have been, wanting ? Although an acknow ledged Conservative, deeply and steadily attached to the Protestant church, and convinced that with its maintenance are bound up the best interests of morality and religion, Lord Eliot is not slow to admit that alte rations might be made in the distribution of its pro perty, and in some branches of its discipline, which would better adapt the church to the fulfilment of its holy purposes. It is unnecessary to remind the public that some of those improvements, relating both to the finance and discipline of the English church establish ment, have, in fact, already been ordained by acts of the last session, and if even more extensive ones have net yet been completed with a regard to the church in Ireland, are the Conservatives they who are to blame ? —the Conservatives, who did their utmost to enforce that great object, the want of which is always put in front of the Popish grievances, so far as Ireland is concerned—namely, a permanent commutation of tithe ? or the Whig Ministers and Radicals, who, from mo tives purely factious, opposed it ? Lord Eliot again declares his hearty assent to the removal of all disabili ties from every class of conscientious Dissenters, and gratification at seeing them in possession of their civil rights. The noble Lord proceeds to state his view of that species of economy which ought to be practised by an enlightened and powerful people, in terms which we recommend, not to the attention of those unteacha ble screws and pedants, who like the mis-called repre sentative of Middlesex, look only at one side of the account, to wit, the sum expended, without once ad verting to the value received for it, but which we do press earnestly upon the calm consideration of the whole people of England :—" I am," says Lord Eliot, "an advocate for economy, but all saving is not eco nomy. It is with states as with individuals, a liberal and well understood expenditure is found in the end to be more economical, than extreme and indiscrimi nate parsimony." Now it is obvious enough that to such a range of intelligence as that which distinguishes Mr. Joseph Hume, and is reported to have shown it self in Sir Henry Parnell, while as Secretary at War he did his best to pinch the public service, and to starve all those by whom it was carried on, and who depended on it for their bread,—to such men we are aware that the sentiments of Lord Eliot on that which constitutes the rationale of administra- tive economy would be utterly incomprehensible. The skin-flint Baronet, indeed, who represents Dundee, stultified himself so irretrievably by the bothered evi dence he gave, or tried to give, before the committee on military expenditure two years ago, that we look upon him, and so does the public, as pretty well dis vosed of. It is not, therefore, to uninstructed teachers of absolute wisdom, like Hume and Parnell, that Lord Eliot ever thought of addressing himself, or for them that we would take the trouble of offering the plainest observation. But to the really enlightened people of England we will take the liberty of remarking, , that the word " economy," like the word " justice, may be perverted so as to work the ruin of the most flourishing State, and to make the richest bankrupt. If we do not pay the fair price of an article es- sential to the existence of a Government, why the most important wheel or spring may get loose, and the motion of the whole machine be para lyzed. It is unquestionably a measure of criminal profusion to employ a superfluous number of public functionaries, or to pay services which require no skill, and entail no responsibility, with disproportioned in comes. It was nothing less than flagrant and abomi nable corruption, for example, in the Melbourne Cabi net the other day, to bring in a bill for creating 42 inspectors of Irish police, at upwards of 5001. a-year each, when four inspectors have been found sufficient ; and, en attendant, it was an iniquitous fraud in the Whig Minister to promise that Colonel Shaw Kennedy should have substantially the appointment of all the officers under his command, and for whose conduct he was himself to be responsible, when it is now notorious to every man in the island that Colonel Shaw Kennedy has no shadow of power to nominate the officers under him, but that the entire patronage is ravenously griped at, and arbitrarily exercised (that is, jobbed), by the general gaol-deliverer of Ireland and his jack alls. But this is a digression. The question was, what is true economy ?—and we answer, it is such an amount and distribution of expenditure as assigns to every man required for the service of the State a remuneration sufficient to ensure an upright, diligent, and skilful performance of his particular duties. Where superior talents are wanting, high salaries must be paid— so high as to attract such talents into the service. A pettifogger in finance, like Mr. Hume, will di vide the House of Commons upon the difference of 1,0001. and 1,5001. a year in the income of one su perior officer. He is incapable of recollecting that the masterly, or only middling, discharge of the trust confided to that officer may make a difference to the country of 100,000/. per annum. We say nothing of Mr. Canning—a great, noble, and powerful Conser vative ; but Mr. Tierney, the most acute and sagacious_ of contemporary Whigs, used frequently to declare himself in the House of Commons a friend to the system of liberal salaries, presupposing that they are bestowed on able and honest men. Here, then, is a wise and honourable avowal of Lord Eliot's opinions. It is not true, as charged against him by a print a me nial of the Ministers, that the noble candidate gives only a negative sketch of his politics ; he asserts broadly what he will assent to, as well as what he will oppose. He will prove yet a piercing thorn in the sides of the wretched, staggering Ministers. He has already become a rallying-point in the extreme west for the putting down of anti-constitutional and destructive doctrines; and we believe it may be said, without exaggeration or imprudence, that what Cornwall pro mises, the next county to it will not be more slow to perform than when it beat the political " Rogue's March," and drummed out of Devonshire the present Member for Stroud. The country is fast recovering its legs, and the good cause will soon again be upper most.—Times. _ ____ The manifestations now being made by the Reform ers in every part of the United Kingdom, open a most favourable propect to the liberty of Great Britain. In Ireland, as the most aggrieved, the exertions of th e Liberals are naturally the most zealous and enthusias tic : but Scotland and England are not unmindful' of the necessity of preparing for the defence of public liberty, as may be seen by the evidence of two more important dinners, reports of which will be found in our columns this day. The Reformers of England have been misrepresented by one party, and calumniated by ' another—by Mr. O'Connell they, in other words, the People of England, are said to be indifferent to the clai ms of Ireland : on the other hand, the Tory prints malign them as being parties and approvers of the mis deeds of th e Lords. Triumphantly may we now point to the numerous demonstrations of public feeling throughout the country, to show Mr. O'Connell his mistake, the Tories the magnitude of their calumny. The iast people o f England are nobly vindicating their na tional character, and are as firmly resolved to do justice to Ireland as to themselves. In public and private intercourse —in deliberative assemblies, and in social meetings, the Commons and Ministers against the ijords--to vindicate the elective the edge tyranny to support of fo rt the r from the usurpation of the hereditary principle, is everywhere given and received. Nor is the question of Peerage Reform contemplated as a remote, b ut as a proximate event. The co nviction of it s necess i ty str ik es more and more deeply into the public mi n d , t h e more the principle and practical working of the hereditary Chamber be examined. The proceedings of th e two last Sessions have indisputably demonstrated the im possibility of two such heterogeneous principles as the elective and hereditary existing in the same Constitu tion, without the one effecting the destruction of the other. The theory of " balances," " drag chains," and " moderating power," with all the inflated rhapsodies so liberally bestowed on the perfection of the British Constitution, are proved, by facts and experience, to be nothing more than visionary absurdities ; and the Lords stand revealed as a mere nuisance in the Com monwealth. But to return to the English Reformers. At Halifax, its representative, Charles Wood, Esq.. Secretary of the Admiralty, and Edward Protheroc, jun., Esq., a Liberal candidate for its representation, were entertained at dinner by an assembly of above twelve hundred of its most respectable and influential inhabitants. The speeches were unanimous in respect to the claims of Ireland and the necessity of preparing for the energetic support of the Government in carry ing these claims into effect. The charges against the Lords also were unequivocally admitted, though diffe rences of opinion existed as to the means of rescuing the country from the evils of their domination ; in other words, their guilt was too notorious to be denied —but the only question to be decided is the nature of the sentence. If those who protest against organic changes aimed at the abolition of the second Chamber, they could not more effectually promote that object, than by opposing Peerage Reform. If the Peers yield to the Commons in the next Session, the loss of time—the excitement—the horrors continued to be committed in Ireland—expose not the futility, but the evils, of having the representatives of the people under the control of a second Chamber—and if the Peers do not yield, their privileges as Legislators are not worth a day's purchase. Abolition will take place of Reform—and the opponents of the organic change will have to thank themselves if the limb should be amputated in consequence of their refusing a timely re medy to its disease.—Morning Advertiser. There can scarcely be a greater libel upon the good sense of the great mass of the people of England who advocated the reform of the House of Commons, than the attempt which is now made to identify that reform with the revolutionary schemes of a . violent faction. It is a fact quite notorious, for it appears in almost all the leading Parliamentary speeches in favour of the Reform Bill, that the object of the measure was a restoration of the Constitution to its original state—to give. back to the people that share in the appointment of the Legisla ture which they formerly had possessed—to make the House of Commons, in truth and in practice, that which the theory of the Constitution contemplated as the peo ple's House of Parliament. Every man of candour and honesty must admit that this was the declared object of the Reform Bill. It was intended solely as a reform of the House of Commons, and never was looked upon by the national party, whose strength carried the Bill, as a revolutionising of the whole Constitution. This was the objection made to it by its opponents, but its friends al ways met that objection with direct denial, because they knew diet their object was merely to restore the popu lar branch of the Legislature, and not to interfere with the other branches which the Constitution equally recognised. Is there not then the most abundant reason for indignation when we behold the organs of that Radical party, which holds the Ministry in subjec tion, now taking up those very arguments with refer ence to the Reform Act which they contended against when they were advanced in opposition to the Reform Bill ? They now pretend that it is impossible the Constitution can stand, unless the Reform Act be given up. They say that there cannot be three inde pendent powers in the Constitution, and that, unless the Aristocratic and the Monarchical branches of the Legislature give way to the popular branch, the Re form Act is a dead letter. if this be true, the argu ments of those who opposed the Reform Bill were good arguments. If this be true, it is also true that the Reform Bill was a revolutionary measure. But when that measure was in progress the Radicals, in common with ourselves, who espoused the cause of the nation, contended that it was not revolutionary. What sort of sincerity is this ? How is the nation to trust a party which alters its views of so great a measure as the Reform Bill according to the cir cumstances of the day ?—which contends at one time for the Reform of the House of Commons as the only means of restoring, strengthening, and pre serving the Constitution, and contends, at another time, that unless the balance of the Constitution be destroyed, and the popular branch be made paramount, the Reform is nothing ? When the Re form Bill was in progress, the national statement (in which the Radicals concurred) was this—that a House of Commons not elected by the people was in compatible with the political freedom of the people, and with the share in their own government, which, according to the principles of the Constitution they ought to enjoy. But what is now the Radical state ment ? It is this—that the independence of any other branch of the Legislature is incompatible with the amount of power which the popular branch ought to enjoy—that the Constitutional theory of three inde pendent branches, is nothing better than nonsense, and that, as there can he but one real bone fide House of Legislature, it ought to be the House of Commons. Whether this be true or not, it is, beyond all question, revolutionary doctrine of the broadest and most signi ficant description. It certainly is not the doctrine which was promulgated by the same party when the Re form Bill was in progress, and there can be no sort of doubt in the mind of any rational, well-informed man, that if such had been the national view of the consequences of the Reform Bill at that time, the na tion would not have pressed for the measure. The na tion, we repeat, did obtain the measure believing it to be a restoration of the Constitution, and not believing that a destruction of the Constitution would be re quired, in order that its provisions might be carried into full popular effect. It is then an insult to the understanding of the people of England to say that the measure which they contended for as a restoration, is completely useless, unless followed up by revolution. But it is the most extravagant and intolerable inso lence to go even beyond this, as the violent Radicals do, by contending that all who will not go the full lengths of revolution are enemies to the Reform Bill. The nation proclaimed (the Radicals joining in the assertion) that the Reform Bill was necessary to avert a revolution, and now the Radicals have the face to tell us that if we do not aid them in revolution—if we do not overthrow every power in the Constitution but the popular—we are enemies of the Reform Bill ! Is it possible to imagine greater auda city, or more gross breach of faith and consistency ? The Radicals now say that there cannot be two inde pendent Houses of Parliament—that one must give way to the other—that the Lords must yield to the Com mons, or the Reform Act be given up, and the Com mons absorbed in the Lords. Need we say that we utterly reject this doctrine as equally false in fact and revolutionary in principle. If it were true we are by no means sure that the nation—if it must have but one really effective House of Legislature—would choose to abandon the House of Lords. That view of the matter was never put to the people by Reformers when the struggle was made for the Reform Bill. It was not said to them, " You must have no House of Lords ;" but it was said " You ought to have your own independent branch of the Legislature, as the aristocracy have theirs—this is the principle of the Constitution, and you ought to contend for it." No thing can be more destructive to rational popular li berty, than the point which the Radicals are driving at ; for if the nation be forced to sacrifice one House Parliament, the popular interests, which are now so broadly insisted upon in the people's House, would no longer have such exclusive attention.—Morn. Herald. The Poor Law Commissioners—as represented by a certain Mister E. Chadwick, acting in their name and on their behalf--would seem disposed to treat gentle men as those g entlemen would b e as h ame d t o t rea t an y of the unfortunate poor who might chance to be under the power of the Commissioners. It appears from the official correspondence in the Northampton Herald that the Board of Guardians at Oundle received an in timation imposing on them new duties, from under . the ate Chadwick,Act Registration of Births for and Marriages. The Guardians Came to a resolution— " of the Act of this Board thehaving been appointed for the admi nistration ,It and sth o f Willi a m IV., a cap. 76, they do not think it expedient and right that such Board should be administrators of the Acts of the 6th and. 7th of William IV., cap. 85 and 86, these Acts have no thing to do with the administration of such poor law, or any connection therewith ; and this Board protest most strongly against any such powers being vested in and devolved on them." It was subsequently resolved to postpone, sine die, the circular letter of Mr. Chadwick. That exceedingly cautious gentleman, thereupon, writes to the Board, in the dryest of all official styles, enlivened only by a plen tiful seasoning of references to cap. so-and-so, and sec. such-a-thing. The result of his communication is simply that they incur the penalties of misdemeanour —fine and imprisonment, to wit—by declining to act but he charitably adds that, as the votes given for the resolution objected to are illegal, and those given against it are valid, the decision of the guardians must be taken as favourable to the imposition of the new duties imposed on them. This is so kindlyto make a loop-hole for escape, and is so entirely free from any possible imputation of quibbling, that it may appear surprising how the recreant members of the Board at Oundle should not avail themselves of the suggestion. The fact, however, is that they do not. They protest against the burden imposed on them, by being compelled to do that, as guardians of the poor, which farmed no part of the office when they vo luntarily accepted it. They entertain conscientious objections to the registration law—they know too well their duty to oppose it ; but they state their " fixed determination not to take any part, however humble, in the execution of such a'sCatute." The Board express their willingness to submit—if such be the consequence of differing from their high mighti nesses the Poor Law Commissioners—to the threatened fine and imprisonment." And there the matter rests at present, as far as they are concerned. But not so with respect to the public. Every individual in the country is interested in the monstrous syStem of modern legislation which enforces on gentlemen voluntarily holding a troublesome and responsible office the ne cessity of doing the duties of another, whether they will or no, under the dictation of a little clique, writing their orders from some room in Somerset House, by the hands of Mr. E. Chadwick. If this be the liberty which we are so continually congratulated on possessing for ourselves, we at once say " the sooner we get rid of it the better."—Morning Post. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Hampshire Telegraph.) PORTSMOUTH, OCT. I.—The Snake, 16, Commander Warren, arrived last night, in 14 days, from Halifax. She returns to England because she is weak or rotten, or both, having been patched up for the purpose of a passage across the Atlantic, during which she could only carry half her guns on deck, eight of them having been struck down . into the hold. This vessel is barely five years old—she is, however, contract-built, and it is essential for the character of the builder, or the constructor, to ascertain if the one has been grossly negligent, or the other an inefficient projector. The Melville and Champion were the only men-of-war at Halifax. The Snake and Serpent were built at the same timer and are sister ships. The Serpent, after serving one station, was found in an extremely defective state. She has just received a very large repair at Chatham. Her wales, keelson, part of the deadwood, stern, stern-post, and a con siderable part of her frame have been replaced with new timber. The Snake was found rather defective at Sheer ness, previous to her being commissioned twelve months ago ; her deck was taken up to repair her beams—the fittings in her hold were also found defective. It is now reported that her transom is unsound, and consequently her deck abaft has given way. The Maitland transport, Lieut. Binstean, agent, arrived on Thursday morning from Quebec, after a passage of 23 days only, Ath the larger portion of the 79th Highlanders on board. A large number of ships, principally laden with deals, timber being scarce in the market, came down the St. Lawrence at the same time, and about fifty vessels, being what is called the fail fleet, were going up ; the num ber of emigrants that had landed was enormous, and on the Ist instant the Indemnity, from Great Yarmouth, with 177 passengers, and Circassian, from Aberdeen, with 177 pas sengers, arrived out. Sir John Colborne entertained the natives of Quebec with a review on the heights of Abraham on the 31st August, of the Ist, or Royals, the 66th regi ment, and 79th Highlanders. The Moira transport is to convey the several detach ments under orders for the. West Indies, and will return with the 86th regiment. The Katherine Stewart Forbes and the Stakesby transports are to convey the several de tachments under orders for Jamaica, and will return with the 22d regiment. The Barossa and Numa transports are to convey the 18th regiment to Ceylon, and will return with the 78th regiment. The Maitland and Arab trans ports are to convey the 35th regiment to the Mauritius, and will return with the 99th regiment. The Prince Regent and Parmelia transports are to convey the 82d regiment to Gibraltar, thence proceed with the 47th to Malta, thence proceed with the sth to Corfu, and will return home with the 2d battalion of the Rifle Brigade. The Sovereign transport and another vessel (not yet named) with the as sistance of the Prince Regent, are to convey the 33d regi ment to Gibraltar. The Pique, 36, Honourable Captain Rous, sailed yes. terday on a short cruse to stretch her rigging, &c., bui owing to the boisterous winds, returned this evening to St Helen's. The Volcano steam-vessel is expected to proceed to the Eastward on Monday next, under the superintendence of Mr. Cater, master, with two warrant officers, and nine men, from the Victory. Had it not been for this circum stance, she would have left this port for Woolwich some weeks ago. The Cove, Capt. James Ross, was paid off at Hull on Wednesday last. The Carysfort, 26, recently launched at Milford, will shortly be commissioned at Sheerness ; it is said, by Capt. H. B. Martin. The Cambridge freight ship is ordered to convey drafts of the 58th and 61st regiments to Ceylon. At Spithead.—Snake, Scorpion, Maitland transport. At St. Helen's.—Pique. In Harbour.—Britannia, Excellent, Royal George, In constant, Conway, and Cracker tender. APPOINTMENTS.—Commander the Hon. E. Howard, to the Serpent ; Lieut. Harry Eyres, to the Royal George yacht ; Lieut. Thomas Stephens (from the Melville), to the Champion, vice Reid, invalided ; Lieuts. George Simmonds and William Viner Read, and Mr. James Henderson (late Master of the Columbia steam-vessel), to the Victory ; Lieuts. Richard Darke and Charles Moss, to the San Josef ; Lieut. John Millett, to the Speedy cutter, vice Douglas, appointed to the Cockatrice ; Mr. Peter Neal, boatswain, and Mr. John Bellman, carpenter, to the Salamander ; Mr. F. W. Horton, midshipman, and Mr. W. Fead, mate, to the Inconstant. Limits. Broke, of the Belvidere, and Fitz gerald, of the Cruizer, have exchanged ships ; Mr. H. F. Harper, mate of the Snake, to the Shipjack schooner. PROMOTIONS DURING THE QUARTER.—Captains Lord John Frederick Gordon and John M'Dougall ; Comman ders Henry Joseph Puget, Nicholas Cory, and Richard Byon ; Retired Commander, Bennet Fellows ; Lieutenants Frederick Holland and Thomas Laye ; Master, William Henry Eames ; Surgeon, Aleiander Bryson ; Assistant Surgeons, George Oman, James Todd, William Brown, M.D., Jacob Davis, George Henry Somerville, Andrew Robertson Morton, John Campbell, M.D., and Henry M'Farlane.—Royal Marines : First Lieut. Henry Bremer. There can be little doubt but the William Torr (one of the whaling ships, which the Cove was sent out to relieve), has either been wrecked or nipped in the ice, as one of her ground tier blubber casks, marked at both ends, was picked up in lat. 46., long. 18. (From the Devonport Telegraph.) PLYMOUTH, OCT. I.—The Scylla returned from the squadron yesterday (Friday), and will be taken into dock immediately, being found leaky. The Sappho, 16, will be launched at this dock-yard in about a fortnight. The Cornwallis, 74, and Minden, 74, have joined the squadron at Lisbon, under the orders of Rear-Admiral Sir William Hall Gage, K.C.8., which, with the Hastings, 74, form an imposin g c , British force i n the Tagus. The Minden, 74, Captain A. R. Sharpe, C. 8., is com pleting her provisions, and will proceed immediately to Lisbon, it is said, to relieve the Talavera, Captain Sullivan being appointed to succeed Commodore Mason, on the South American station. The Scylla brig, Commander Robb, is expected here from Cork, to be repaired, having sprung a leak. Captain Henry Byam Martin is appointed to the C.4u7s fort, fitting at Sheerness ; Commander the Hon. Henry Howard, to the Serpent ; Lieuts. R. Drake and Chales Moss, to be additional Lieutenants to the Ordinary at this port ; Lieut.

JEU D'ESPRlT.—Written by William Bigelow, more than thirty years ago, when the First Consul of France had turned his attention to the cultivation of sugar from beet : " I've a substitute found," says Bony ; " No more Of your sugar will I taste the sweet ;" " Very well," says John Bull—" while I use the cane, You're welcome enough to get beet." INSOLVENT COURT-SATURDAY. Richard Butler, a young man of genteel appearance, applied on his petition to be discharged. He was not op posed. The insolvent, who is a professor of music, upon the demise of his father, who had carried on the business of a bricklayer, entered into partnership with his brother, with a view of continuing the business to support their widowed mother. In June, 1834, the insolvent left the bricklaying business, and applied himself to his own. His wife was also a professor of music. Mr. Cooke, on behalf of the insolvent, stated that the petitioner had derived no advantage whatever from the partnership. He had entered into the speculation with the very laudable intention of sup porting his mother. The insolvent knew nothing whatever of the business.—He was discharged. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. A young man, named James Meredith, a paragraph writer for some of the newspapers, was brought before Mr. Alderman HARMER, charged with attempting to defraud the proprietors of the Morning Advertiser, by presenting a fictitions bill, in the name of a known reporter, for various articles which had not been inserted in that newspaper. Mr. M'Laughlin, the publisher of the paper, stated that this was the third Bill of this description which had been detected. He knew the defendant as an occasional repor ter. On Friday evening the cashier came to witness, and told him that the bill had just been presented to him for payment. Witness closed the doors, and then ascertained that it had been uttered by William Jackson, a porter, who attends a public-house in the neighbourhood, and who af terwards pointed out Meredith as the party by whom lie had been employed to receive the money. Mr. Alderman HARMER, observing the bill was not made out in the name of Meredith, inquired whether the money was really due to the reporter whose name was used ? Mr. Forrest said it was not, and begged to explain some particulars. The cashier will not pay any reporter's bill till it has been signed by the sub-editor, and the latter will not affix his signature till the porter has examined the bill by referring to every article in the newspaper, and ascer taining the number of lines and the writer. As the porter checks each item, he puts a tick against it, and places his initials at the bottom. When the bill in question was pre sented to the cashier, he observed the ticks were not such as the porter usually made ;and he went to him to know if the ini tials" T. W." were made by him. He at once stated that they were forged ; so that the bill had been presented to the sub-editor as having been examined and marked by the porter, when, in fact, it had not. When Meredith was brought into the office by the patrol, he (Forrest) asked which of the reporters (for there are two of the name em ployed in this bill) had authorised him to receive the money. Meredith replied he could not tell. It could not therefore be shown that neither of them bad employed Meredith. All that could be shown was, that nothing was due for the ar ticles charged, and that the ticks and signature of the porter had been forged. William Jackson proved that the prisoner employed him to get the bill paid. Thomas Watson, the porter, deposed that the letters " T. W." resembled his writing, but were not written by him. Inasmuch as these letters did not make the document an order or request to the cashier to pay money, but merely verified the correctness of the bill, it was clear it was not a case within the statute against forgery. It was rather a case of misdemeanour, in attempting to obtain money by uttering a false token. Mr. Alderman HARMER said, the manner in which the offence could be dealt with could not be determined till the whole of the evidence was before the Magistrates. The testimony of the person in whose name the bill was made out, and of the cashier, should be obtained. Perhaps some other inquiries might be made. He should remand the prisoner to some other day. The prisoner wished to have legal advice, and he would decline making any defence till then, though he was sure he should prove his entire innocence of any fraudulent inten tion. The prisoner was then remanded till Monday (this day). BOW-STREET. The following extraordinary occurrence has taken place at Liverpool :—On the night of the 24th ult., a number of foreign letters were handed to a man in the Post-office, named Barnard, for the purpose of being stamped, pre viously to their being forwarded to London by the mail. Among these was a bundle containing seven letters, all directed in the same hand, and in the Spanish lan guage, to official personages at Havannah. The stamp is a heavy steel implement, with which the letter is struck with violence. He had got through all the letters but this par ticular bundle, and they had been removed as he had operated upon them. He also got safely through the first four of these, but in striking the fifth, the percussion pro duced an explosion which shook the whole building. Every clerk in the office, even those at the greatest distance, was stunned, and one who stood within a few yards of the spot was thrown violently to the ground. When they recovered in some measure from the shock, they looked round for the poor man Barnard. The floor around him was completely covered with the tattered fragments of the letters, for all the remaining three had insensible. He and he lay upon the floor bleeding and He was found to have been shockingly injured ; his hands being torn almost asunder, and portions of the flesh and skin peeled from them. His face was completely denuded of the skin, and one of his eyes was forced backwards with such violence that its use as an organ of vision is lost. The thumb-nail of the left hand was torn off, and, what is more extraordinary, was shot through the left cheek. The poor man is in a very dangerous state, though hopes are entertained of his recovery. The bag which contained the other four letters having already been made up, it was despatched by the man during the consternation incident to the disaster. Mr. Banning instantly. forwarded an express to the General Post Office, informing the parties there of what had occurred, and warning them to be careful how they opened these letters. As soon as the circumstances above described were made known at the General Post-office, St. Martin's-le-Grand, Mr. William Peacock, brother to Mr. M. B. Peacock, the solicitor at the Post-office, was despatched to Liverpool, for the purpose of investigating the ci rc u ms tances atten ding the extraordinary explosion of the letters, and to en deavour to trace out the persons who had been guilty of so diabolical an attempt to sacrifice the life of a fellow-crea ture. Mr. Peacock, after a short ti me , succee d e d i n ob taining some information which led him to suspect that a Spaniard, named Joseph Gomez, wa s th e au th or o f th e horrid scheme, and he directly proceeded to institute an in quiry into his position of life, &c. H e ascer t a i ne d t h at t h e person alluded to had arrived, at Liverpool on th e 21 st Sep tember only, by a packet from America, and had lived in Liverpool up to Sunday night, the 25th of the month, and on that evening had started to town by the Red Rover coach, which stopped at the Swan with Two Necks, Lad lane. Mr. Peacock directly quitted Liverpool, and re turned to town, when he obtained the assistance of Ruth ven, the active officer of this establishment. Inquiries were then immediately made at the Swan with Two Necks, and it was then ascertained that the person alluded to, on his arrival in town, had applied to an individual in the coach yard to recommend him to some private lodgings. He was directed to the house No. 3, Benbow's Place, Golden-lane, St. Luke's, where, it appeared, he even tually took up his residence. Ruthven, in consequence, proceeded to his house on Saturday morning, accompanied by an officer attached to the Post-office, and demanded to see Gomez. They were informed that he was from home, but was expected to return shortly, 'and they expressed their intention to wait until he should make his appearance. After having remained some time, Gomez knocked at the door, and immediately on his entering the house, they seized him by both hands, so as effectually to prevent all attempt at resistance, a course which appears to have been most fortunate ; for, on proceeding to search the prisoner, they found a loaded pistol in each of his trousers pockets, as well as dirk concealed elsewhere about his person. They proceeded next to examine his pockets minutely, and disco vered a letter in his possession, the impression on the seal of which was found, on being compared, to correspond ex actly with that on the two letters which were sent from Li verpool, directed Havanna, but which had not been for warded. The prisoner was directly put into a hackney coach, and conveyed to this office, where he underwent an examination before Mr. Minshull. The testimony of the witnesses was, however, taken in a private room, as it was considered desirable that the depositions taken should not at present be made public. The cha racter of the evidence was, we believe, of a general nature, and was sufficient only to justify Mr. MINSHU L L in keeping the prisoner in custody. The nature of the charge was explained to the prisoner, and he was remanded, and will be again brought up on Monday (this day). He was then handed over to the custody of the gaoler of the office, and was subsequently conveyed to the New Prison to await his further examination. He is a man of remarkably di minutive stature, and is shabbily attired. It would appear that there could be no reason assigned for so malicious .an attempt being made upon the life of any of the persons employed in the Post-office, and it is supposed that the de sign of the person by whom the letters were sent must have been to injure the persons to whom they were dlreeted in Havannah. Should it turn out that the prisoner is really the offender, it is surmised that his object in coming to Eng land was to cast suspicion from himself, as the post marl; would show that the letters came from this country, while it was known that lie was resident in America. After the examination of the prisoner, Ruthven returned to his lodgings in Benbow-place, and brought away a very heavy box, which it appeared had belonged to him. H e ob tained a key also, which, on his reaching the office, he , found fitted the lock, to external allearangc l ()n '„lng introduced, however, it was discoVered to have no effect on the bolt of the lock, which it did not turn. Two smiths were in consequence sent for, and after considerable exertion they succeeded in forcing open the lid ; they then found that it had been firmly held down by strong iron bars. On an ex amination of the contents of the box, a dagger with a cross handle was found, of a very curious construction. was clasped, and it was not until some ingenuity bad been employed that it could be opened. There was also a smaller box found, which the officers deemed it hazardous to open, as they thought it probably might contain fulmi nating silver or gold, the composition of which it was sup' The posed, had exploded on the stamping of the letters. box was then reclosed and sealed, in order that its contents may be safely preserved, and that no mischief could possiblY result. The blade HA TTON-GARDEN. On Saturday information was forwarded to this office of the death of John Goulding, an elderly man, by trade a plasterer. The deceased, it appears, entered a l od g ing ; house in Buckeridge-street, St. Giles's, between eig ht and nine o'clock on Friday night, and soon afterwards he was, quarrelling and scuffling with a person named Welsh, Oa something fell heavily upon the floor several times. At nine o'clock all was quiet, and Welsh then leaving th e , house hastily, some persons entered the premises, and fon° the deceased lying upon side, and quite dead. The or d circumstance was immediately made known to Insp ect Bell, who, with his two men, Sergeant Isaacs, No. 8, a n Edward Davis, No. 74, proceeded to investigate the me" lancholy catastrophe. They first called in a surgeon, w ho, upon examining the deceased, gave it as his opinion thai the unfortunate man had died from injuries of the hean ' after which they exerted themselves to apprehend but up to Saturday afternoon they had not obtained an d clue to his hiding place. The cause of the affray h as no come to light. Several other policemen were sent in 1 3 ‘.. 1r : suit of Welsh, and the Coroner has ordered that an encluiri be made before him on Monday (this day.) The dreadful affair has occasioned many rumours, wh ich Y we think should not be published for the present, as the might prejudice the party accused of causing the decea sed's death, with the Coroner's Jury. The house in which the deceased breathed his last vo l surrounded by hundreds of persons during the whole • a Saturday, and the surrounding nei g hb our hood was ln state of excitement which we never remember to have s een surpassed. Welsh, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A solicitor on the part of Newton, Esq., of Cumber land-terrace, banker, came to this office, to ask Mr i CONANT, the sitting Magistrate, if h e h a d power to cag e , a number of pawnbrokers to deliver up a large quantity 0' plate, stolen and pledged with them under these circa!' stances :—ln July last Mr. Newton, on entering his resi' dence at the dinner hour, discovered that the usual pr e P ti ; rations had not been made ; on inquiry he was inform ed : that the pantry, where the plate-chest stood, was lec ke ' and the footman, Thomas Lewis, absent. Mr. New ton sent for Mace, an officer of this establishment, who broke open the door, and on examining the plate-chest, aced tamed that the whole of its contents, valued at 600 1 . , p a r ,. disappeared, and a considerable number of duplicates le ' behind. The duplicates were found to refer to the missing plate, and, from their dates, it was clear that the man v a , for some time raised large sums of mone y on his master property. Search was made for the thief, but without se' cess, he having contrived to make his escape out o f the country. The pawnbrokers wero applied to, and when they ... Pro duced the a rti c le s o f pl a t e pl e d ge d w ith th e m they w e ' immediately identified by Mr. Newton. When the Paw n. brokers were applied to to deliver up the plate in their Pe g ; session, they all refused, alleging that there had been L il t conviction, and therefore they had a ri g ht t o retain %cu lt they held. The object of the solicitor's application to Mr. Colla t. ° was to know if, under the Act against illegal pawning, tu e Magistrates could order the plate to be delivered up r Mr. CONANT did not think a Magistrate could make Oa order under such circumstances. Th• meaning of the Iv ° 5 illegal pawning, in his opinion, was confided to such al as where persons (not servants) were entrusted with g e9 either to make up or take care of. The Solicitor thanked the Magistrate, and retired. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. VESSELS ENTERED INWARDS AT THE CUSS TOM-HOUSE, OCT. 1.
